How long can you live with liver cirrhosis and liver cancer?

The treatment of patients with cirrhosis needs to be decided based on the severity of their condition. If patients with cirrhosis are in the compensation period, as long as they actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, the patient's life will not be affected and their survival period will be the same as that of normal people. If patients with cirrhosis are in the compensation period, they will have symptoms such as ascites, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc., which means they are in the late stage and can only live for about five years.

However, if liver cancer has already metastasized to distant sites when it is discovered, and the disease has reached an advanced stage, even surgical resection may have little effect on the prognosis.

Most primary liver cancers are caused by further deterioration of cirrhotic nodules.
